The Freelance Scheme

Just a heads up folks. If you haven't heard it, then maybe its time you did. FreelanceHomeWriters.com is another misleading program. At least they will be upfront and tell you their fees. There's the $2.95 trial fee, followed by a $49.95 monthly fee. Here's the good part, while this company debits $2.95 for the trial fee; the $49.95 monthly fee is also debited. Freelance Home Writers goes on to say you could be making $5,000.00 per month. If you figure out the math and your out-of-pocket expenses, it doesn't add up.

Also, trying to get a refund will be VERY frustrating. But, if you want your money back; become a PEST. Email or call them daily. Email them at freelance-home-writers.com or call them at 1-800-750-7660. I can't promise that they will answer your calls or emails. Neither can I guarantee they will refund your money. All I can do is give you information on where to call or send an email, to help you regain your money. Remember if a program is stating "an eight year old can do it", it is not worthy to dwell on. To be blunt, it is [B...S...].

Be vigilant in using your good judgment. If it sounds fishy, it definitely is. FreelanceHomeWriters.com is not the best work at home opportunity.

Processing Rebate Scam

Ever come across one of Diana Deangeolo's sales pitches? Did you see how good she made it seem? Here's a very big tip, to all webbers . . . be careful of this program. You are required to purchase this program for $157.00 and some change.

Its states on their sales page that you have a 60 day money back guarantee. But, should you ever decide to get a refund, they will email you a phone number that no one will ever answer. Here's the telephone number to call to get your refund 1-800-818-7155 (Note: You will have to wait it out, between 45 minutes to an hour). Don't give up! It is your money. Get it back. If you email them about your refund, an automated responder will email you (i.e. Your concerns have been forwarded to the appropriate department). No matter how much you email them, they will email you the same statement repetitiously. Don't bother with the emails, believe me, it doesn't work.

To avoid this hassle, don't spend $157.00 and receive useless information with unsatisfactory results. There are also other links/websites you can visit that will reveal the untruth of this woman who has deliberately mislead her customers.

Here's the link to her website. Diana Deangelo. AVOID this program!!! For the curious at heart, I know I can't make your decision, so after visiting these links and you still purchase it; then all I can say is GOOD LUCK!

These links listed are reviews of the Process Rebate Scams. Remember consumers, there are variants of this program. Be cautious and use good judgment.

Research Before Making A Decision

There are no certainties when looking for reputable online work-from-home jobs. A lot of these companies have filled their website sales pages with a load of fluff. Many charge you for information that you can obtain for free. Before you decide to purchase another work-at-home program, do your research.

I can't stress that enough for you. Don't just hand them your money, for their information portrayed in their sales pitch. Search the web from major search engines before you make that decision. You'd be surprised at how much information is available to ill-advised work-at-home entrepreneurs.

Is it Truly Money Back GUARANTEED?!

Many work at home companies offer various guarantees. Whether it is a 30 day or 60 day money back guarantee, certain companies many not honor the guarantee. One of the first things to do is to read through the website agreement located at the bottom of web page (warranties, disclaimers, legal rights, earnings disclaimers, terms of service, or any variations that are created).

It is amazing, how many people disregard these small links located at the bottom of the web page. These links provide insightful information about the company you're interested in. Many work from home companies have their "MONEY BACK GUARANTEE" written in these sections. They describe in detail about their guarantee and whether or not they will honor it.

IF, no guarantee's are written in these sections, then you will need to check these companies another way. To do this, you will need to check who is their payment processor. Work from home companies that DO NOT use a reputable third party pay processor, won't have to abide by any agreement terms or guidelines. They will not follow through with their guarantees and you will be at their mercy.

Reputable third party payment processors such as PAYPAL have strict code of ethics with their terms of agreement. Should any company using Paypal fail to honor their guarantees, they risk their account being canceled or suspended. Be careful of work at home companies using merchant processors. These payment processors are typically used to disguise the fact, these companies are processing the payments. Though, these merchant processor are good programs, the people using them may not be as great (example: esellerate ).

The main key points to remember are: 1. Check if the company is offering a money back guarantee and 2. Check the type of payment processor they are using. If you reflect on this when scouring the web, it will help you save you're money and avoid getting scammed.

Remember, a company is considered a scam when you pay for something and lose the initial investment. Companies that refunds your money upon request and per their guarantee, are just doing good business. We all differ in our interests, so what might be confusing for you, will be of interest to someone else.

The Work At Home Dream

Everyone dreams of enjoying life outside of a 9 to 5 job. Pulling long hours and getting paid squat isn't an ideal life. We all wish for an easier, stress-free existence. We want to spend more time with our children or partner. We hate the hustle and bustle of each day. The idea of running late, missing work and especially getting fired or laid off is something we deal with daily.

Not all of us are fortunate. So, we scour the internet looking for that perfect dream. Amazingly, a lot of these work at home jobs seem fail-proof. The age-old story of a regular person, going from rags to riches. You become sold on that belief, "If he/she could make it, so could I." Yes, you could definitely become the next rags to riches person. Yet, each time you spend your hard earned money, and get unsatisfactory results; you are even more addicted to recoup the money you lost.

Lets face it! Not all of these internet work at home jobs are real. There are genuine opportunities somewhere within the massive offers of work at home jobs. Its unfortunate for most, that many people come across work at home opportunities that are not delivering what they promised. Hopefully in time the issues of misleading opportunities and gimmicks on the internet will be resolved.
